So these new Strings only work with the New VI Interface? Or do they also work with the performance tool.

-Ben

The former only I'm afraid........But I just invested in the VI's and I am blown away by not only their ease of use but also the sound quality.....


Put 'em on your Christmas list!!! (you only need to buy the Orch Stgs 1 and own Pro Edition to qualify)

Thanks PaulM. Yes, I re-downloaded cab 3 to get it working. That got me as far as cab 6. DL'ed that and got past it in Installer. Now 7 is corrupted. Re-downloading that currently.

I'm wondering if concurrent downloads might have contributed to corrupted files. But I doubt that anyone could say for sure. And I see others did it successfully.

I found any more than 4 DL's concurrently on my MAC and I would get strange MB counts (ie 25MB for a cab file that should be over 120MB)

"Slowly does it" seems to be the way.

Good luck

tom, you need to have registered either strings or performance set pro edition and ViennaInstruments orch. strings I extended. if you qualify for the download (pro edition already registered) and do not have the extended library for S1 yet an upgrade from S1 standard would be 35 EUR

Daryl - come on bro - tell us how you did the second one!!!!!!!!


[:D]


Rob

Well, I think that it was pretty obvious that the second one was AV Perf leg. In case anyone cares, the first one was done using a mixture of 14Vln Perf leg, Chamber Vln (vibrato) and Solo violin Perf leg.

So Daryl, Rob, Jay, etc... how do you like the new violins?

I like the sound, and they will come in very handy for some things. Obviously there are a few articulations that are not available, but I can think of workarounds for most of them, so I'm very happy. Shame that I've already started the current piece without them.... [:(]

I have VI's on a MAC G5 2.5Ghz DualP /4.5GB RAM/LOGIC 7.2.1.....

Two things...

1) When I open the VI in either stand alone mode or from within Logic itself (- and then I go to the Activity monitor app to see the system load etc etc.....the app. "vsldaemon" always shows "(Not Responding)".

Everything 'seems' to be working fine and I just wondered if this was an anomaly (as Logic 7 Shows it is not responding when it is loading up - but all is fine)

Can someone from VSL or anybody who has encountered this occurence please let me know all is well (or not!) and give me some information on exactly what vsldaemon does with in the architecture of the VSL programming.

2) If I load up a VI in stand alone mode....load in say 1.0 gig of programs (various matrices) and watch the 'RAM used' meter go up to say 1.0 GIG - and then I unload all the matrices and even Quit the VI completely - the RAM usage meter drops - but still shows a significant amount of RAM as being used - yet none is allocated to anything.....odd!!!!

Just wondering if this has anything to do with "vsldaemon" not appearing to be functioning....

As I say everything 'seems' to be running fine....but just wanna be sure I am getting the maximun out of my system.

Tech heads.....HELP!!!

thanks.....

I seem to remember that there was discussion about this a while back, and I think that the answer was "just ignore it".

great strategy for technical excellence [[;)]]

Well, it says there are no files available for me to download, and I am a registered user of all of Pro Edition, Perf Set, and VI.

What else do I have to buy?

Have you upgraded to Extended?

Thats odd.....

So you own and have registered Pro Ed, and VI orchestral Strings 1.....?

Is your VI Orch Strings 1 an EXTENDED version?

@PaulM said:

No it's not extended yet.

I was under the impression that early VI buyers got the files.

So now we have to buy the extended version to get the free files?

Tom

I dont understand why anyone who owns Pro. Edition, and upgrades to the VI wouldn'y get the extended? Only if you get extended do you get a VIP upgrade price. It would cost you like €35 to your orchestral strings package to extended. I can understand why people would hold back if they dont own Pro. Edition, since extended costs alot - but as a Pr. Ed owner its a no brainer no?

Anyway, regarding your impression. These strings have always been for upgraders. An extra bonus for those who upgraded their old pro. ed. to the new VI. It has never been an early bird offer.

I did upgrade. From Pro Edition, to VI.

At the time of the early bird upgrade offer, you could not upgrade to the extended version. ILIO said you would have to wait and do that directly thru VSL. I understand that has changed now.

I have not upgraded to the extended library because the demo is still working. And like everyone else, I haven't gotten what I've paid for already...no brass, etc. So there hasn't been a pressing need to upgrade yet.

So, let me get this straight, I need to upgrade ALL of the VI package, or JUST the strings in VI to get this "free" item? What is it in US dollars?

Thanks and sorry for the confusion. But make no mistake, it is not fair to say that these strings are a reward for those who upgrade. I did upgrade, from Pro, to VI.

Well thats a debate you can have with VSL [:)]

You only need to upgrade the Orchestral Strings 1 which in US dollars would be around $40. You should be able to see your price using the discount calculator
